Tom: Any hidden fees?

Mike: No. Of course, you'll want to read the fine print of your

Tom: Right. I don't want to get stuck with a plan that only lets

me make long-distance calls between midnight and 3 a.m.

Tom: Before I sign on the dotted line, I'd better make sure I know
what I'm getting into.
